Chapter 489: Steward Li, Farmer

On an official road leading to the capital,

An extremely ordinary-looking carriage was slowly moving along the official road.

Yang Dong leaned on the soft collapse with no image, holding a copy of the information that the West Factory had just sent back.

That's right, Wu Jing's girl still has some command talent, but she still needs to polish it, if it weren't for her mistake this time, Wucheng's soldiers would not have died so much.

But in any case, the final ending is quite good.

I think that this ally chosen by the master will continue to shine in the future.

Just as Yang Dong was thinking to himself, a sudden noisy noise caught his attention.

I saw a group of barefoot farmers beside the official road, raising their hoes, angrily glaring at another wave of uniformly dressed people and dressed as family members.

And these households, also with weapons in their hands, confronted each other with the farmers.

"Your young master is too unreasonable, right? Obviously, the government has already allocated this cultivated land to us, where is the reason to snatch it again? ”

The peasants were full of disgruntle, and the hoes in their hands were raised high.

On the other hand, the bodies of these family members always reveal a superior attitude.

Their disdainful gaze swept over the peasants, and then the steward among them spoke:

"Okay, okay, don't you mud legs just want some benefits?"

"The young master of our family said that as long as you hand in the grain in a down-to-earth manner, you can hand in less this year. In previous years, we took three percent, and this year we will have two achievements. ”

Hearing this, the farmers laughed angrily.

"Steward Li, what you said is inappropriate, right? At the beginning, these fields belonged to your Li family, and we helped cultivate them, so we handed over 30%. ”

"Now the adults in the government have said that these fields belong to His Majesty and his old man. In this case, even if we hand it over, we have to hand it over to Your Majesty. These fields have nothing to do with your Li family! ”

"Presumptuous!"

The Steward Li suddenly shouted, and his whole person's facial features were twisted and tangled.

"Shen Daniu, you have to think clearly, the Li family is a famous family in our county, and there are still people in the family who are officials in the capital. If you are so quibble, aren't you afraid of offending the Li family? ”

"The Li family just doesn't care about you mud legs, if they want to clean you up, it's actually as simple as pinching an ant to death."

As soon as these words came out, the peasants' faces changed, and even the arms with the wielding tools began to tremble slightly.

What is the status of the Li family in the county, how can they not know?

It's just that the official surnamed Zhao told them conclusively that he would protect them. That's why these farmers dare to argue with the Li family's housekeeper in the field.

"You guys, the people of your Li family are too domineering!"

"Lord Zhao said that he will support us. Your Li family, aren't you afraid of offending Lord Zhao? ”

Shen Da Niu stiffened his neck, and his angry eyes were red.

When the other farmers heard this, they opened their mouths to help.

"Yes, Lord Zhao said it himself, and now these fields are His Majesty's. No matter how powerful your Li family is, you can't be more powerful than Your Majesty, right? ”

The butler seemed to have expected the peasants to say this.

He sneered, but his eyes were full of disdain.

"Our Li family is naturally not comparable to Your Majesty. But on this one-third of an acre of land in the county seat, the words of the Li family are definitely more effective than His Majesty's. ”

"Oh, by the way, the Lord Zhao you are talking about is just a sesame-sized official. He just wants to help you, but I'm afraid he can't do it enough. ”

"If you don't believe, look over there."

After the butler finished speaking, he pointed to a muddy field not far away.

The next moment, a figure that was tied up with five flowers and covered with whip marks appeared in front of everyone.

On the carriage, Yang Dong didn't plan to show up.

However, when he saw the figure clearly, his face immediately turned gloomy.

His name is Zhao Yu,

He is one of the earliest and best students in Lanxiang College.

After returning from the academy, he entered the officialdom of the Great Zhou with the idea of transforming the Great Zhou.

It's just that his qualifications are still too shallow, and because he has not participated in the imperial examination, he is despised by other officials.

Although he knew very well in his heart that the knowledge he had learned in Lanxiang Academy was far more valuable than those so-called sage books.

But the reality requires him to lie dormant in secret, waiting for an opportunity to break through the ground.

Finally, that opportunity made him wait!

With His Majesty's holy decree, the vast field reform was rapidly carried out in the capital and surrounding areas.

On the way, naturally, there were many wealthy landlords, relying on their own power, to resist His Majesty's holy decree.

Of course, they don't dare to disobey it on the surface, but that doesn't prevent them from stumbling secretly.

Therefore, the entire field reform was carried out in a shaky manner.

The emergence of the post of food officer has reversed this situation. Since most of the people who hold the position of food officer are graduates of Lanxiang Academy.

Therefore, they have a more thorough view of things than ordinary officials.

Under their mediation, the fields in most places were eventually handed over to the people. It's just that there are some benefits to be paid in it, so naturally there is no need to say more.

Does Yang Dong know about this? Of course he knew.

But how difficult is it to change a person, let alone a country?

Therefore, he acquiesced in these so-called compromises.

In many places, such a compromise has allowed the people to own their own land for the first time.

However, Zhao Yu here, there was obviously an accident.

I saw that Zhao Yu was dying at this moment, and he was being erected like a dead dog.

The moment he appeared, the farmers present were instantly stunned!

They looked at Zhao Yu's scars all over his body, and their eyes turned red in an instant!

From ancient times to the present, most of the people have no good impression of officials. But the appearance of Zhao Yu changed the views of these people.

Because this food officer is different from other officials.

He didn't ask for the so-called eating and taking, but taught the farmer a lot of farming.

However, this good official in their eyes is being tortured to this point at this moment!

Steward Li seemed to be very satisfied with his masterpiece, he sneered and hooked his hand into the distance.

The next moment, the two family members in the distance, like throwing dead dogs, casually threw Zhao Yu aside.

Seeing this, the farmers immediately rushed over and lifted Zhao Yu up from the ground.

"Lord Zhao, Lord Zhao, wake up!"

"Are you okay, this damn Li family, how dare you do this, how dare you attack the imperial court officials?"

The shouts of the farmers made Zhao Yu, who had fallen into a coma, slowly wake up.

When he woke up, he felt a sharp pain all over his body.
